A drop or two of white vinegar will also prevent your wash to dry and leave hard edges and blotches...

Whoa - nasty
I've never had that problem before............one thing I've had a lot of success with in washes is paint the cockpit interior color, give it a quick squirt with Future, then use oil or enamels as a wash, and you can use thinners to wipe off any excess paint - the thinners won't affect the future, then a flat overcoat and a drybrush.
Might seem to be a lot of jerking around, but I've had very few disasters and some very good results using this method - and gee do I hate doing things twice.
Just make sure that whatever wash you use is a different type of paint system than the original coat of paint so that the wash doesn't soften the original paint.

Hope I'm in the right place to be asking questions. Seems to be a wealth of knowledge out there.
I've never been able to come up with a satisfactory wash to give a good impression of shadows and crevasses for the cockpit interiors. I have primarily used thinned acrylcs. But no matter whether I use water, acrylic thiners, or alcohol, as the wash dries the pigment seem to be drawn outward, away from the raised details. I have used enamelQuestion [?]s but the thinner tended to craze the details. What is the secret to the great depth and shadows I see on all of the reviews?
